                        FEBRUARY 22, 2012

   An act to add Section 52055.741 to the Education Code, relating to
education funding.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1840, as introduced, Alejo. Quality Education Investment Act of
2006: class size requirements: King City Union School District.
   Existing law, the Quality Education Investment Act of 2006,
authorizes school districts and other local educational agencies to
apply to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to receive funding
to allocate to elementary and secondary schools and charter schools
that are ranked in either decile 1 or 2 on the 2005 Academic
Performance Index for use in performing various specified measures to
improve academic instruction and pupil academic achievement. The act
imposes certain program requirements on each funded school,
including class size requirements, as specified.
   This bill would deem the King City Union School District to have
met those class size requirements for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal
years.
   This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to
the necessity of a special statute for the King City Union School
District.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 52055.741 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   52055.741.  For the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years, the King
City Union School District is deemed to have met the requirements for
class size set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section
52055.740.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique circumstances faced by the King City Union
School District, including the separation in the administrative
relationship with the South Monterey County High School District and
the enhanced impact of the decrease in Quality Education Investment
Act of 2006 (Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of
Chapter 6.1 of Part 28 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Education
Code) funds due to the high percentage of the King City Union School
District's schools and pupils covered by the act.
